Ava Davis
In a not-too-distant future, the United States is torn apart by civil war. Amidst the chaos, Jade, a Black transgender woman, grapples with intense dysphoria, straining her relationship with her cisgender partner, Aiden. Supported by her nonbinary best friend, Starr, and a resilient community, Jade embarks on a journey of self-discovery and reclaims her identity in a world that seeks to erase her.

From executive producer and Sundance Fellow Ava Davis, and directed by Iona Leighton and Ava Davis, this film is a poignant exploration of identity, community, and the power of joy as an act of resistance. Watch the trailer now and join us on this journey of resilience and hope.

Ava Davis, also known as the Duchess of Grant Park, is a trans actress, producer, and writer living in Atlanta, Georgia. She is also an advocate for increasing trans and queer representation, especially that of black and other minorities. She founded her production company, Studio Vosges, in 2019 with the expressed purpose of telling the stories of queer and trans (GSM) black, brown, and beige people. She hosts the talk show, The Ava Davis Show, on you42.com.

Growing up, her family was a military family and traveled the world. She has lived in Germany, California, and Saudi Arabia. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Comparative Literature, with a focus in art history, film, and creative writing, from the University of Georgia, and has made Atlanta her home, along with her partner, two standard poodles, one Bengal cat, and one Russian ragdoll cat.

She has acted in, written, and produced several short films, including Feast, The Decision, and the short film The Duchess of Grant Park, about a trans woman who claims the Grant Park neighborhood of Atlanta as her duchy.

Ava Davis' stage credits include Alice in Wonderland, The Laramie Project, It's A Generational Thing, Stuck, and Locked. In addition, she has performed with the One Minute Play Fest, including a special performance in collaboration with the Queens Theater in New York City to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Pride. She also performs sketch comedy and collaborates with Critical Crop Top and Black AF.
